With the flash sale currently on, can anyone recommend me Philip Hinchcliffe Presents Vol. 1? It’s a good £40 cheaper, but is it worth me buying?

I was wondering this too, it's normally so expensive so the current price is tempting.

The Ghosts of Gralstead is my favourite Fourth Doctor story. If you’re a fan of Talons, then this’ll probably be up your ally too. I’m not especially keen on The Devil’s Armada but most people seem to like it too.

Another question, this time for anyone who's listened to the Eighth Doctor and Lucie Miller range: which stories are absolutely essential to the overall narrative? From what I've gathered, there's quite a bit of filler that, while enjoyable, doesn't have an impact on the overarching storyline, and I want to start off with the stuff that is important before I go out and buy the remaining stories to fill the gaps.

Well it depends on exactly what you would call the overall narrative.

To understand Lucie’s arc all you need is:

Blood of the Daleks
Horror of Glam Rock
The Zygon Who Fell To Earth
Death in Blackpool
Series 4 (There’s 2 or 3 filler episodes but they involve Tamsin who is relevant to the finale and it just makes sense to listen to the whole thing. Plus it’s really good.)

However there’s also smaller arcs, that don’t amount to much but do form the ongoing narrative of the 8DAs. These include:

Grand Theft Cosmos (Return of two major characters from Series 1)
Sisters of the Flame (Series 2 finale, Leads into The Vengeance of Morbius)
The Vengeance of Morbius (Series 2 finale, Leads into Orbis and sets up Series 3)
Orbis (Again one of the characters from Series 1 pops up again)
The Eight Truths (Series 3 finale, resolution to plot thread beginning in Series 2 finale)
Worldwide Web (see above)

Personally I’d recommend listening to Series 1 on Spotify, then listening to The Zygon Who Fell To Earth and then Death in Blackpool through to To The Death. You don’t need any context from any other stories for these and it gives you a complete run through of Lucie’s arc.
